PAT TREK

Eric Scull guest stars on Pat Trek to discuss one of his favorite episodes: The Royale. Once again, the Enterprise crew is trapped in a film noir story full of swaggering gangsters, high-rolling gamblers, and terrible dialog (but on purpose this time).

The Pats continue their slog through middling season two episodes with Contagion. After the USS Yamato mysteriously explodes while studying an ancient alien graveyard, the Enterprise crew must uncover clues as to what destroyed their sister ship (SPOILER: it was the ancient alien graveyard).

Coming down off the high of Measure of a Man, Pat and Pat trudge through a more forgettable episode: The Dauphin. The Enterprise crew handles some delicate alien diplomacy, Wesley falls in love with a shapeshifter, and the Holodeck is surprisingly used for something other than death or sex.

Brian Sebby returns to Pat Trek to talk about one of TNG's most critically acclaimed episodes: Measure of a Man. Data fights for his legal rights as a person, Picard reunites with an old flame, and Pat W. struggles not to laugh at the words "JAG officers".

The Pats recap A Matter of Honor, a fast-paced, action-packed episode where Riker has an adventure on a real Klingon vessel, not a Holodeck sex fantasy or a sad desert.

Cinemajaw's Matt Kubinski joins the Pats to dissect Unnatural Selection, an episode featuring everyone's favorite single-season filler character, Dr. Pulaski.

Peaches & Hot Sauce's own Schuyler Weinberg talks with the Pats about The Schizoid Man, an episode where the Enterprise crew learns about what it means to be human. Also, Data gets a horny old man stuck in his android brain.

Pat W and Pat O try their hand at diplomacy in Loud as a Whisper, an early Season 2 episode where viewers learn a lesson about sign language, a war is (maybe) averted, and not much else happens.

Pat W.'s older brother Thomas guests on this week's edition of Pat Trek to talk about the Outrageous Okona, an early season 2 episode with a CBS version of Han Solo and special appearance by Joe Piscopo for some reason.

Once again, the Enterprise crew nearly destroys themselves by playing dress-up in the Holodeck. Carlos Luna joins Pat and Pat to chat about Elementary, Dear Data, the nature of life itself, and why Starfleet installed this death machine on the ship in the first place.
